1. The 40th annual Sports Emmy Awards nominatons were announced on Wednesday. Just like with any awards show, they really don't matter in the grand scheme of life, but they are fun to pick apart.
I have no idea how the Television Academy comes up with these nominations because they seem very random. For instance, the NFL on CBS was nominated for Outstanding Live Sports Series. However, the NFL on FOX was not. Was there really a big difference in the coverage between the two? The Emmy's did seem to echo the voice of the public, though, by giving Monday Night Football just one nomination and it came in the Post-Produced Graphic Design category.
